Fabio Paratici has resigned from his position as Tottenham’s managing director of football after his appeal against a two-and-a-half year ban from the game was thrown out by Italy’s highest sports court.
In a statement released early on Friday morning, Spurs said that Paratici’s ongoing worldwide suspension prevented him from fulfilling his duties at the club and that he had chosen to step down with immediate effect in order to “focus on his legal position in respect of the FIGC and FIFA rulings”.
